As Americans head outdoors this summer, they will find even more
convenient opportunities to recycle their cans and bottles at parks
across the nation as a result of more than 900 new recycling bins
provided by Keep America Beautiful and Dr Pepper Snapple Group
(NYSE: DPS).
Now in its third year, the Dr Pepper Snapple Group/Keep America
Beautiful Park Recycling Bin Grant program has awarded more than
2,500 recycling bins to local governments and community
organizations across 33 states to expand the availability of
recycling in a variety of park settings, including neighborhood and
larger regional parks, beaches, athletic fields and walking
trails.
“We’re pleased to see the momentum of our recycling bin grant
partnership with Keep America Beautiful continue to build in its
third year,” said Vicki Draughn, vice president of corporate
affairs for Dr Pepper Snapple. “Efforts like these are helping make
recycling more convenient in our communities, reducing the waste
going to landfills and making our public spaces cleaner and more
enjoyable for everyone. It’s a win-win.”

“We’re excited to again partner with Dr Pepper Snapple to award
these grants,” said Brenda Pulley, senior vice president,
recycling, Keep America Beautiful. “With lack of convenience being
one of the biggest obstacles to recycling, the bins we’re providing
will have a direct impact to increase recycling in these
communities.”
